Kastelruth combines vibrant village life with access to some of the most striking viewpoints in the Dolomites. Its trails reveal both cultural landmarks and alpine grandeur.

  • Route to the Witches’ Benches (Hexenbänke) via Marinzen Alp: A rewarding 3–4 hour hike leading from the village or chairlift station through alpine meadows to the Puflatsch Plateau, renowned for its wide Dolomite vistas.

  • Peace Trail (Friedensweg) on the Colle Hill: A contemplative forest path beginning in the village centre, featuring fourteen “stations of peace” along a quiet ascent with panoramic stops.

  • Kastelruth–Marinzen–Meadow Circuit: A 9.5 km moderate circular walk exploring sunny pastures, rustic huts, and views towards the Alpe di Siusi plateau.
